ISS Moon Transit

I haven't been able to post here for a while due to web-browser plug-in incompatibilities with the IIS website. All sorted now.

Here's a couple of images I've taken this week of the IIS.

The moon transit was taken just after sunrise with my Canon 70D in video mode, Sigma 50-500mm & 2 x extender mounted on my Star Adventurer. 60 frames were then combined to make this composite image.

The closeup was taken using manual tracking yesterday morning with a GSO 10" F4 Newtonian, ASI183MC Pro and Televue Powermate 4x (not mounted on my Star Adventurer)

I've just bought a Powermate 2x and am keen to see if I can improve the quality of the close-up images at the expense of resolution.

I've never collimated the OTA since I bought it (used) either - when I figure out how I'll be interested to see if it sharpens the image much.
